An Evanston Minute: Unplug Illinois Day

Saturday was Unplug Illinois Day across Evanston. Hundreds of residents flocked to natural sites in the city—to fish at Lovelace Park, bird walk at the Clark Street Beach Sanctuary and Perkins Woods, scavenge the dunes at the Lighthouse Beach, and walk through the Ladd Arboretum and Harbert Park. “I wanted to come outdoors and get away from the computer,” said Bryan Kao (wearing a backpack), who brought his son Lane on his first fishing trip.

The National Weather Service issued an Air Quality Alert for Evanston on Sunday.

The city says a similar alert is expected for Monday.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada has moved into the region - pushing the Air Quality Index over 150 and into the unhealthy or worse categories.

As a result, the Evanston Police Department's Community Barbecue has been postponed with a new date to be announced.

EVANSTON, IL: Award-Winning Songwriter Edie Carey @ Evanston Garden Concert

Join award-winning songwriter Edie Carey for an evening of moving songs and hilarious stories in beautiful Evanston, IL.

“Edie Carey’s [The Veil] is a direct hit to the solar plexus…jaw-dropping lyricism…” – The Independent

Colorado-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable, soulful voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on - and off - stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Edie's wry humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend.

With dozens of movie scores and over 500 recording credits to his name across Jazz, R&B, and Opera, Marcus’ resume speaks for itself, and as a UNESCO Artist for Peace and changemaker, his work on social justice projects continues to be inspiring.

And as we look toward the future and the return of live events, Marcus is anticipating the return of Black Movie Music at the Hollywood Bowl, the fourth installment of the successful series (which he co-created, co-produces, arranges, and musical directs) that catalogs the rich history of music in Black film.
